Nature Painted Me Beautiful

Sometimes words aren’t necessary – Nature can do the talking for itself. These beautifully coloured birds were spotted in the Caprivi region of Namibia and in northern and central Botswana during the months of August/September 2012. Enjoy Nature’s amazing palette presented by her feathered friends. First off a Violet-eared waxbill.

Orange-breasted bush shrike

Bee-eaters are always stunning. Here’s a bevy of Carmine bee-eaters

White-fronted bee-eaters also have striking colours

Greater blue-eared starling

A striking Black crake

It’s sights like these that keep the binoculars and cameras busy all the time and being able to feast our eyes on these magnificent birds is very special indeed.
